I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Miller was also somewhat anxious.

Ever since that day on the Sabaody Archipelago when he was personally pursued by Admiral Sengoku and narrowly escaped, he understood that someone like Sig was too dangerous to impersonate and could attract the attention of an Admiral.

"We have to find a chance to leave right away... These damned pirates are too arrogant. Just because their captain has a bounty of one billion, they don't take other enemies seriously at all!"

"At this rate, we'll run into the navy sooner or later, won't we?"

Just as Miller was feeling anxious and racking his brains, he saw a naval warship appear in the distance where the sea and sky met.

"It's the Navy! Captain Sieg, we've finally encountered the Navy!"

"Hahaha... These navy guys are really unlucky. They probably don't know that Captain Sieg is still alive."

Amid the commotion, Miller's smile grew increasingly faint.

..........

time flies.

Based on the performance of Sig and others, Zefa continuously fine-tuned their training plan.

Before they knew it, three months had passed since Sieg began his training.

In Sig's dormitory.

Ain placed two small bottles on the living room table, muttering to herself:

"Is Uncle Sun Bear going out on another mission this time?"

"We're all receiving training, so why can't I go to sea with Uncle Sig and Admiral Zephyr?"

Sig shook his head: "Although it's the same training camp, you are new recruits, but we are not."

“In the past, some of us, including myself, have participated in the mission to conquer the Golden Lion, and this time it will be similar.”

Zephyr wouldn't treat Seagull and the others like hothouse flowers, quietly training them in the Marine Headquarters for three to five years.

Sending these trainees out for internships, letting them participate in real battles, capturing pirates... this is Zephyr's basic operation.

Sieg glanced at Ain and the two small bottles in her hand, from which a faint purple flame could be seen flickering.

“Aion, we don’t need these two bottles. Your power can only sustain this flame for less than a day right now.”

"And this mission of ours is not something that will be done in a day or two."

Sig refused the two bottles she offered, his gaze falling on Ain with a hint of emotion.

Ian has been in the Navy for over three months now.

Children of this age grow quite quickly, gradually losing their former bean sprout-like appearance, and their eyes become much more determined.

Sig breathed a sigh of relief after Ain left.

Aion has changed, and so has he.

Three months is not a very long time.

But after Zeffa and Karp's repeated training sessions, these three months were enough to form solid muscle memory and habits.

Sig pushed open the wardrobe.

"Waaaaah~"

The shadow clone Sig lay in the wardrobe, blinked once, and looked visibly listless.

"You're still here? You're really tenacious... Just like me."

Sig exclaimed in admiration and tore the tape off the shadow clone's mouth.

Over the course of three months, he gradually broke free from the hypnotic state and did not become trapped in it.

The shadow clone's eyes gleamed, brimming with fighting spirit. He had barely ripped off the tape when he spoke, "Of course! I only have one thing on my mind: to cultivate and become stronger!"

"I will not disappear until I become stronger."

Sig glanced at the shadow clone and said something that immediately crushed its fighting spirit: "But the training will have to be put on hold for now. I just learned that I will be going out on a mission."

"According to the Navy, a group of vicious pirates has appeared in the waters near an island called Sword Mountain Island."

"These pirates are extremely dangerous. Every time they encounter the Navy, they wipe them out completely, leaving no survivors."

"If I can distinguish myself in this operation and prove I deserve the rank of colonel, then maybe I can graduate and leave training behind..."

"Even if I can't, I can take this opportunity to secretly leave the Navy..."

However, the invisible clone's reaction was quite surprising:

"You don't want to train? That's great! Let me go and receive training from Admiral Zephyr! I want to become stronger!"

Sig watched the shadow clone's reaction silently, feeling a slight sense of relief.

His hypnosis experiments now appear to have been successful.

As a user of hypnosis himself, he can also be hypnotized, but the hypnotic effect is relatively shallow, and he is easier to wake up.

As the shadow clone of the hypnotized person, even though he is the same person as Sig, he is still deeply trapped in hypnosis, and has become a hot-blooded protagonist whose mind is only on cultivating and becoming stronger.

"My plan is feasible, but the cost is a bit high."

Sig still feels lingering fear when he recalls the inhumane and outrageous training he endured over the past three months.

"Fortunately, all of this is about to end."

Sig smiled slightly and dispelled the shadow clone once again.

The current shadow clone was created three months ago, and the energy it has accumulated over these three months has brought it to the brink of collapse.

If this shadow clone were to undergo Zephyr's training directly, it might be so exhausted that it would disappear on the spot that very day.

Once this internship is completed, Sieg plans to hypnotize himself again, allowing his shadow clone to take his place while he escapes.

perfect!

"Finally, I have a chance to escape this sea of ​​suffering."

Sieg sighed softly, closed the wardrobe, put on the cloak of justice, and glanced at himself in the full-length mirror.

The person in the mirror had a cold expression, with the word "Justice" written behind him. Even standing among the navy, he didn't seem out of place at all, and he looked more and more like a real navy man.

Chapter 423 Sig is alive again

Sword Mountain Island is located in a remote area on the edge of the first half of the Grand Line, and even pirates rarely come here to plunder.

But in recent months, an anomaly has emerged.

A certain pirate crew reigns supreme here, plundering passing merchant ships. Recently, they have even dared to attack the Navy, leaving almost no survivors.

To this day, the Navy still does not know the name of the captain of this new pirate crew.

Zefa's training fleet was thus motivated.

At this time.

On board this increasingly powerful pirate fleet.

Miller, the user of the Phantom Fruit, was staring in fascination at the glittering gold coins, jewels, ornaments, and antiques inside the box...

He was worried about getting burned while playing with fire and wanted to get away as soon as possible.

After all, no wall is completely leak-proof.

Since he's been using Sieg's name to swindle and deceive people, he's bound to be exposed one day.

But... the money came too quickly, and he was really reluctant to run away.

After all, he already had a large and powerful force under his command. He didn't even need to take action as captain; the title of a billion-dollar bounty criminal and the pirates under his command were enough to intimidate many people.

"Once I've pulled off this last heist and amassed a treasure worth 600 million Berries, I'll make my escape immediately."

"After all, even the former Admiral Sengoku, the current Fleet Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, couldn't do anything to me. I should be able to leave whenever I want."

Miller looked at the jewelry in the box and couldn't help but swallow.

Reason told him he should escape as soon as possible.

After all, when he escaped using the Phantom Fruit, it was Teach who helped him distract Sengoku, allowing him to slip away.

As he admired the treasure in the box, a dark shadow began to creep beneath his feet.

Miller instinctively shuddered, immediately closed the box, and looked back, but saw no one.

He narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly, and remained completely unperturbed.

"Who dares to mess with me, the Pirate King of the Sea, Sig? Are you looking for death?"

His voice was deep and cold, and the flames burning on his fist gave him a rather imposing presence.

However, the captain's cabin remained quiet; you could hear a pin drop.

"Looks like I was just overthinking it..." Miller thought to himself, wiping away sweat.

But at that moment, the shadow beneath his feet swiftly solidified into a sharp, black spear, which shot up from the ground the instant he turned around, piercing through his palm in an instant.

A huge, bloated man with a demonic appearance and screaming marks on either side of his forehead appeared before him.

"You piece of trash, how dare you impersonate that bastard Sig?" the devilish-looking man asked coldly.

"Moon...Moonlight Moria?"

Miller's eyes widened involuntarily. He covered his injured hand, his pupils trembling slightly, and his heart was filled with shock and regret.

But clearly, it was too late.

"You know me? But it's no use."

After learning that Sig might not be dead, he kept an eye on Sig's affairs, only to find that it was a fake, which made him furious.

"If I can kill the real Higuma and get his body, I might be able to challenge Kaido and become the Pirate King."

"I didn't expect to make another wasted trip."

Moria was about to end the life of the fake Sieg, but then a thought struck him and he changed his mind.

He gave the fake Sig a sinister smile and sat down in the chair next to him.

"Tell me, how did you impersonate Sig?"
